When
you prepare your Annual Personal Study
Plan (APSP), you are required to include - before anything else - the courses
that were already on your APSP in previous years, for which you have not passed
the exam yet, or, your grade has not been registered yet. These courses are
called
incomplete courses (with exam
still pending) and are marked in blue by the system. They need to be added
to the APSP
before any new course that you want to insert for the first time.
As a general rule, the APSP must
respect the limits imposed by the type of enrolment you have chosen: 80 credits
for full-time enrolment and 40 credits for part-time enrolment.
These limits can be exceeded if
you add other “
overbooking courses” (marked in red) to your APSP.
You are allowed to do this overbooking operation in order to take into
account:
- other exams
that you will take in the Autumn session (September);
- exams that you have already passed but have
not been registered yet (for example exams taken abroad during a mobility
project);
- internships and/or foreign
languages and/or external learning activities taken and recorded by 31st
December 2017.
At a later stage, when
you pass the above mentioned exams (within the Autumn session), and after the internships, and/or foreign languages, and/or external
learning activities are recorded (by 31/12/2017), they will be removed from your APSP, thus
“
releasing space” for new credits . The “overbooking courses” will now
enter into the APSP, following the order in which they had been inserted.
This adjustment period
normally ends a few weeks after the end of the September examination session
(except for internships ,foreign languages and external learning activities).
Example of Annual Personal
Study Plan with overbooking option
In this example, there are two
courses marked in red that exceed the limit of 80 credits.
If you pass the
Termofluidodimanica
exam by September, a space corresponding to 10 credits will be released in your
APSP. This will allow the
Energetica e fonti rinnovabili course to enter into the APSP for the new academic
year.
Any exam that you might pass in other examination sessions (belonging to
the new academic year) will not contribute to “unblock” further credits.
Therefore the remaining overbooking exams will not enter into your APSP.
Therefore, when you make your
APSP, you must pay attention and add your courses following a
priority
order.
In particular, if you are approaching
the end of your studies, you must carefully check in which semester your
overbooking courses are offered, in order to be able to complete your studies
before the first available Graduation period.
Please
note that, on your personal page of the Teaching Portal, you will not
see your overbooking courses (since they remain outside your APSP).
Therefore you will not be able to take and register those exams for the entire
academic year.
